What jeans should you wear to holiday dinner (AKA, the grand tradition of over-eating)? Raven Denim suggests you aim for higher-than-usual-waisted jeans, if you don’t want to resemble a stuffed bird. Aim for mid-rise to be comfortable and still contain your food baby.

“Don’t be afraid of a higher rise. After you have dinner, everyone gets a little tummy. Wear a a mid-rise, which will hold you in, while giving you versatility to tuck-in or wear loose.” (Ya’el Torbati, Raven Denim)
